South Australia has moved to train more police in counter-terrorism strategies in the wake of the attack on two Christchurch mosques.
The SA government has increased by 60 the number of local police with specialist counter-terrorism training, who can then be seconded to the Counter-Terrorism and Security Section should a local attack occur.
Police Minister Corey Wingard said there was no suggestion the threat level in SA had increased.
But he said the attack in New Zealand, where 50 people were shot and killed, had raised fears across the community.
"We saw from Christchurch people can be vulnerable wherever they are," he said on Friday.
"It doesn't matter how big or small the community is. These things can happen anywhere in the world at any time."
The minister said the government was also compiling a Counter-Radicalisation Strategy targeting prison inmates who might be vulnerable to teachings of violent extremism.
Mr Wingard said it was important to be proactive against the terrorist threat.
"Extremists are increasingly seeking to inspire like-minded individuals to their repugnant way of thinking through online recruitment," he said.
